New act brings optimism, new opportunities

She is optimistic that the new Property Practitioners Authority (PPRA) will be able to deliver on the changes set out in the new Property Practitioners Act (PPA) which came into effect at the beginning of February.

This was the view of Mamodupi Mohlala, CEO of the new PPRA, previously the EAAB, at a Real Estate Industry Summit held online and hosted by private Property on Thursday morning.

SHRA’S new chairperson:

We create homes for our people

“Social housing has the power to change the landscape of our country, to bring people together and to overcome past injustices. We are not just a social housing regulator, we help create homes for our people,” says Busisiwe Nzo, the newly appointed chairperson of the Social Housing Regulatory Authority (SHRA).

Home buyers need to know where to keep deposits under new law

Seeing that the new property laws have come into effect under the Property Practitioners Act (PPA) at the beginning of this month, both homeowners and the property industry at large now have new options available to them when choosing how to manage their deposit.

Property rights are not colonial

Section 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa is constantly under attack. Coming off a vote in parliament where its proposed amendment failed. The section specifically is under attack again. The Constitution in general was critiqued by the Minister of Tourism, Lindiwe Sisulu. Yet, property rights specifically are singled out, citing Professor Ramose who called it (s25) the ‘longest clause’. The right to private title, is attacked as being representative of colonialism. Is this true?
